It’s the song of the redeemed rising from the African plain It’s the song of the forgiven drowning out the Amazon rain The song of Asian believers filled with God’s holy fire It’s every tribe, every tongue, every nation A love song born of a grateful choir
I long for your embrace every single day To meet you in this place and see you face to face Will you show me Reveal yourself to me Because of your mercy I fall down on my knees
All the bitter weary ways, endless striving day by day You barely have the strength to pray in the valley low And how hard your fight has been How deep the pain within Wounds that no one else has seen Hurts too much to show
I open up to you, this love that makes me new Oh may my heart receive this love that carries me
There was one when I was young Who knew my heart He knew my sorrow He held my hand And he lead me to trust him
I’ve heard the thunder before I’m not a stranger to storms Even in the flood I can always run to where You are
When darkness deepens, the path unsure The sun is hidden by the storms I look to heaven and cry to thee Oh God, be here with me
Hear our cry, oh King of heaven Jesus hope to every heart We are lost without Your glory We are lost without You God
